[QUOTE="TLK, post: 497976, member: 13604"] My son just turned 13 and does this. It also sounds like he is carrying on a conversation with someone in the bathroom. He talks when he plays video games and he has trouble making friends. Like he does not know what to say or do to start a friendship. He is fine at home and around people he knows. He also has some friends at the new school ( which I am happy about) and his old friends. He always he says he does not care when we tell him he needs to stop talking to himself. I do not think he is aware of this. I relate it to being a tic. My husband does repetitive things when thinking as does my daughter, she twittles her hair all the time( she is 20). But lately I have found out he does this in class.I read somewhere this is called verbal hyperactivity and when your overstimulated you do this to relieve stress which he did just start middle school this year. I also hear people think he is weird which makes me feel bad because he is the sweetest most helpful kid. He gets straight as and his teachers like him. I hate for him to be labeled and I want to help him control this behavior. He was bullied in Elementary School which is ironic because he is a blackbelt in karate ( earned last year) but still no respect but he would never brag about that. Anyone have any ideas to help modify this behavior or a similiar situation. Thanks for listening. TLK [/QUOTE]
